State expected to cut payments to recoup $168 million error
Local governments across Illinois are expecting less
money from the state this year as Illinois recoups a $168
million overpayment.
Originally called a glitch, the overpayment was a processing error by the revenue department. Roughly 6,500
taxing bodies in Illinois received more personal property
replacement tax than they should have.
School districts will be hit hard by the overpayment.
Hoopeston Area will take cuts totaling $75,094.43,
while Rossville-Alvin’s overpayment was for
$12,557.65.
Hoopeston officials learned of their overpayment as
they readied for the city’s new budget. According to
state records, Hoopeston was overpaid by 23,319.78.
Neighboring communities with overpayments include
Alvin, $67.94; Rankin, $77.21 and Rossville, $429.03.
Townships are not immune, as Grant Township will
receive $5,106.25 less, plus an additional $8,310.92 for
Grant road and bridge. Butler will be docked $915.92
plus $1,079.20 for its road and bridge, and Ross,
$676.58 and another $504.69 for road and bridge.
Vermilion County’s overpayment was $171,545.77; and
$13,526.23 for the county airport authority; and
$26,087.21 for the conservation district..
In Iroquois County, Milford’s share of the mistake is
$1,402.09; $1,473.68 for Milford Township: $338.49
for the park district: $701.04 for the fire protection district: $24,465.77 for the schools; and $1,555.77 for road
and bridge.
Wellington village has a $534.03 overpayment and the
fire protection district’s total is $328.09.
Lovejoy Township’s is $338.39 and the road and
bridge overpayment was for $1,210.61.
Prairie Green Township will have to make up $41.21
in overpayment and another $111.34 for road and
bridge.
